[QUOTE="klmno, post: 264689, member: 3699"] Oh- apparently, it doesn't work that way here. I am going to look into any option for a group home, but it would have to be Department of Juvenile Justice to place him. If difficult child goes to dss, he goes to my bro- his parole status goes with him. He would just be on parole there. According to what I read, Department of Juvenile Justice's group homes are not what difficult child would qualify for, but I'm hoping they have more options. If he could do that for a few mos while we do family therapy, that's fine. If we can do family therapy while he's in Department of Juvenile Justice and they aren't going to load me up with rules and requirements I can't meet at home, that's fine, too- I just want to know that before I sign anything. The judge has already written her order. It just says he goes to parole after Department of Juvenile Justice- that leaves it all up to parole officer. As far as Residential Treatment Center (RTC)- difficult child will never get it now. A good portion of funding was going to be covered by medicaid because he had been in psychiatric hospital over 30 days. That is no longer his status. They wouldn't allow Residential Treatment Center (RTC) before because Department of Juvenile Justice was in charge of his placement and the probation officer wouldn't ask the people in the system who could fill out a certificate of need to do so. Plus, the GAL told the judge that I could not be trusted to leave difficult child in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Even though difficult child will be on parole instead of probation after his release, the other people in the system are the same and if difficult child does well, he wouldn't need Residential Treatment Center (RTC). If he doesn't do well, he goes straight back to state Department of Juvenile Justice incarceration. That's why I say this will probably ruin his life. The recidivism rate here is pretty bad for kids- you'd think they would get a clue that their way isn't working too well. Basicly, the people in Department of Juvenile Justice have to approve of and advocate for difficult child to go to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). They wouldn't do that before his latest criminal act when I was trying to get them too. They wouldn't do it when he got arrested last and psychiatrist wrote a letter saying difficult child needed this. So, they aren't going to do it ever. They are convinced that Department of Juvenile Justice incarceration does better than Residential Treatment Center (RTC). If I can get things arranged to be able to move, I will do so. That will give us different people but the court order for difficult child to be on parole will stand. When a kid is on parole from state incarceration, ANY violation of rules lands them right back in. [/QUOTE]
